We hosted the (1st annual) Texas Biodiversity Symposium Rice University last weekend! We had two days of talks, a panel discussion, then field trips to visit local biodiversity - birding, native prairies & an urban bat colony. Keynote address by Rae Wynn-Grant, PhD was inspiring!

There were 9 institutions represented across talk & posters, including The Houston Museum of Natural Science ❤️🦖🧠🌌, Rice University, UTRGV, Ecology & Evolution at Houston, Audubon Texas, Houston Arboretum, Sam Houston State & UCSB Bren School! Thanks Rae Wynn-Grant, PhD, Eric Wuesthoff, Cin-Ty Lee , Amanda Nicole Potts, Alexandria Shockney, & many others! 🌎
